Overview and Screenshots

GIMP for Windows 10 is a graphics editor for image retouching and editing, drawing, resizing, cropping, photo-montages, converting between different image formats and several other tasks.

GIMP Editor Interface

The interface of the editor has been developed with user feedback in mind and is rather simple despite the abundance of features. You can enter either single window or multiple window mode. The panels with tools and settings can be accessed easily and do not confuse even the most inexperienced users. There is, however, a bit of practice required to really be able to use GIMP effectively.

The basic tools include selection instruments: rectangular and circular selection tool, free select tool, and fuzzy selection. More advanced selection includes select by color tool and scissors. There are options for selecting and editing layers of an image. General editing instruments include pixel cloning tool, tone correction brush, distance correction tool, blur and sharpen tool, smearing tool, etc. There are also animation and effect filers, such as Drop Shadow, Blur, Motion Blur and Noise.

GIMP Editor tools

The editor supports automation by scripts and works with the Generic Graphics Library to perform advanced color correction operations. It supports a wide range of formats including its native XCF and is capable of importing and exporting files, as well as converting them into supported formats.

All this, along with possible extensions, makes it one of the best image editors today.
